Stephen Jones: Cowboys have accomplished a lot this offseason

This offseason has been a busy one for the Dallas Cowboys. At the beginning of it they did a fair amount of reassessing in figuring out just what went wrong in 2025. Clearly there were a lot of contending options. Much of the focus since has been on the defensive side of the ball. Dallas […]

7 numbers that show Rockies offseason progress

Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Max Kepler

The 2019 Minnesota Twins were a veritable superteam, boasting a powerful lineup that battered teams into submission.

The Denver Broncos Might Be Frauds

I know we just did this with the Chicago Bears, but I always have the Bears on fraud watch because they’re the Bears. The Denver Broncos, to my casual AFC eye, seem pretty good. Their defense seems to be for real, and while I don’t really care for Bo Nix as a quarterback, I’ve always […]

ACC Roundup – One Blowout, Another Closer Than Expected

In Thursday’s games, no surprises: Virginia Tech was never really threatened by Western Carolina, winning 96-74 and Syracuse won a more competitive game against Saint Joseph’s, 71-63.

Lions vs. Rams bold prediction: Detroit pulls off the upset
